Although still rare, a study this June showed salmon tapeworm infestations tripled from an average of 0.32 cases per 100,000 people each year in Kyoto, Japan, to at least to 1 case in 100,000 people in 2008. As more people adopt sushi and undercooked fish diets around the world so too, has the worm spread. Lox, ceriche, there are all sorts of names for such fish. It's not just sushi.
The trend I don't like is "seared fish". Either cook the tuna all the way through or serve it raw. Don't go half-way.

I believe “lox” or “lachs” is smoked salmon, so tape worms should not be a problems there.

It helps release the oils in the herbs and stuff. about 30 seconds a side for a nice thick tuna steak is perfect. Of course you have to know what good tuna is to appreciate it. If you get it at the grocery store, it's not good.
